Directions:Insert
dough ingredients in bread machine according to manufacturer's
instructions. Remove the dough from the machine after the first knead -
approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

Place dough on a floured
surface. Divide into individual parts. Form balls, gently press thumb
through center of ball and slowly stretch into bagel shape.

While bagels rise, bring water and sugar to a rapid boil in a large saucepan. Drop test dough.

Using a slotted spoon, drop 2-3 bagels into rapidly boiling water. Boil
on each side for 1-2 minutes. Remove and cool on rack 1 minute, brush
with egg and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, if desired.

Bake at 400 degrees on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal, until golden - approximately 15 minutes.

Bagel Success Hints: *When forming the bagels, set aside two 1/4" balls
of dough. When the bagels have doubled in size, drop the test dough
into boiling water. The dough should pop to the top right away. When
this happens, it is time to boil the bagels. *A quick spray of non-stick
vegetable coating on the top of the bagel may be substituted for the
egg wash. *To make bagel sticks, cut bagel before rising and lay out in a
straight line. Roll sticks in a combination of sesame and poppy seeds
with a pinch of garlic powder. Let sticks rise, boil, and bake as
described in the above directions. *To make bagel chips, slice leftover
bagels horizontally into thin slices. Brush with butter or margarine on
one side. Lay (butter side up) on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at
325 degrees for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
